LUCY LAWLESS SAYS HER NEW TV SHOW IS SEXY, VIOLENT!

Lucy LawlessLUCY Lawless says her new TV show is gory, sexy AND extremely offensive!

Sounds like it’s worth watching!

The former Xena: Warrior Princess star admits lots of people will probably be offended by Spartacus: Blood and Sand, which premiered Friday night on Starz.

“I think a lot of people are going to be shocked and they are going to shut off their televisions,” Lawless told the Boston Herald newspaper.

The actress insists she isn’t worried if people start tuning out of the program.

“And I absolutely encourage that because if they’re shocked by the first few episodes, it ain’t going to let up,” she said.

“But for the people who have the stomach for it, this is a bloody good yarn.”

Lawless plays the character of Lucretia, who owns the slave Spartacus (Andy Whitfield) with her husband, Batiatus (John Hannah).

“She does terrible things, but she does them out of desperation and need, which is how most people get involved in criminal activities,” said the 41-year-old. “She is venal, but she is also religious. She is full of contradictions, and my aim is to make her so real and so believable that the audience will say, ‘Yes, you know what? I can see myself doing the same thing if I was in her shoes.’”

“Really, I just feel like as long as it’s germane to the scene, it’s not offensive to me,” Lucy said of appearing topless and in explicit sex scenes.. “If it is relevant and historically accurate, then artistically it makes sense. People in ancient Rome had completely different relationships to people and their bodies and sexuality and the law and religion.”

    looking forward to Lucy’s new series! she’s a great person, very intelligent and funny, and a wonderful actress and i hope to see more of her. more power Lucy Lawless!!

  2. dave says:

    I watched the first episode last night, I was very impressed. I agree with Lucy, the nudity is historically accurate and not offensive in the least. The use of lighting implies sexuality but limits extreme exposure. I look forward to future episodes.

  3. Brian says:

    OMG!! Lucy in a new show? I loved her in Xena: Warrior Princess!! She was/ is so hotttt! I would be her sex slave anyday!! I would love for her to be riding my face and grinding her sweet female sex organ all over my mouth. And with her lesbian-like sidekick, Ariel, looking on ( think that was her sidekick’s name), Ohh Man, that would be soo hottt! Of course, I’d want her to wear her sexy Amazon Xena outfit Everytime we would have sex. She could do any sexual thing she wanted to to me, and make me do any sexual thing she wanted me to do to her too!! Why, even if she wanted me to sexually please her Xena female sidekick, I’d happily do it!!! MMMM MMMMMM!! Xena/Lucy….. Soooo Hotttt!!!!

  4. Mack says:

    Ooh! Xena!! Ride me baby, ride me!! Ride my face and my big hard Manhood tool. But make sure you wear your Xena outfit and have that Amazon dominant look when you do it!!! Your Xena sidekick can ride all of me too!!! She is almost just as hottt as Xena!! Not quite, but almost. I’d surely not tell her No!! Either one of them!!

  5. robin says:

    Anything with Lucy Lawless in it is WORTH watching!!!! Go for it, Warrior girl! You rawk!!!!

  6. wow says:

    You guys are pathetic. Crawl out of your mom’s basement and get a real life.

  7. kim says:

    @ Mack–Down boy, Down! Its a TV show! LOL!
    Seriously, I enjoyed Xena….I MIGHT take a little peek of this show. Just a little peek.

  8. kim says:

    @ Brian–I’m telling your wife/girlfriend!

  9. Larry says:

    OHhhh Myyy!!!!! Lucy!!! I’ve wanted you back on TV for seems like 100 years!! Plz don’t forget top allow this show on some reg cable channels???
    Thanks Sooo much Lucy!!

  10. Garry says:

    In her recent interviews about this show, Lawless sounds as if she’s implying that she and other actors have actual sex on-camera. As beautiful and sexy as she is, I would hate for that to be true. I’ve respected her for many years, but real sex for a pay-cable series is just porn.

  11. stan ploar says:

    That slut is going to hell.

  12. DonEhrenblitzen says:

    As Xena, Lucy was impressive and admirable and awesome, (not every woman can wear leather and bronze well) but I had a real desire for Hudson Lieck (Callisto) and Rene O’Connor (Gabrielle, the gamin from next door — I WISH).

    Still and all, I learned all about Greek and Roman Mythology from Xena and from The Hercules series. (LOL)

    Hope this series succeeds.

  13. sean says:

    At last we’ll get to see her tits on screen I hope. It was about time…Better later than never!

  14. Kathleen says:

    Sean.. you are an idiot!

  15. Kathleen says:

    Sean…You are an idiot!!!!

  16. alankent says:

    ha the same ole same ole hot chick marrys short rich guy who agrees to “make her a star” she is utterly flat chested and weird.
    besides i hold her personally responsible for the actual realife death of that guy who played ares.

  17. R.W. Bonner says:

    I watched the first episode last night also. It was great! The drama, the deceit, the treachery, the action…if the sex was the only thing you saw, then get a life! If it offends anyone, don’t watch! I am sure that many more will watch. It portrays one of my favorite historical eras and I find value in that.

  18. CJS says:

    Use to watch her in Xena all the time….will be great to see her in on again…….saw Spartacus:Blood and Sand….thought it was really good….I love those kind of shows…..can’t wait till next episode.

  19. The Rogue says:

    Lawless is a humorous, clever person and a great, entertaining actress. The show is just a show, and if it’s not one’s taste, then ignore it. If you dig it, then cool. Everybody relax, chill, and go about your business. Just a show folks.

  20. James West says:

    Big Whoop. There is enough good programming on regular TV for me. I am not going to pay extra for channels that should be included in the regular cable package.

  21. terri says:

    To Alankent-that’s pretty f’d up blaming her for Kevin’s death. He fell while climbing a tower during a break on a movie in China-Ms. Lawless had absolutely nothing to do with his death! She set up a fund for him after it happened. I think you are the “wierd” one!

  22. terri says:

    PS the movie had nothing to do with her either, it was a Bruce Willis movie if memory serves me. Anyway Kevin Smith-RIP

  23. Roy says:

    Watched the show and thought majority of it was great! But, the slow motion, ridiculously overboard blood flying was extremely cheeesy! The gore was great and pretty realistic, but the cheesy blood flying everywhere in slo-mo really seemed like overkill. If that was just toned down a notch or done in “real time” speed it would have looked fantastic. And, how hot was Erin Cummings?

  24. Robert says:

    I plan on watching it so that i cam learn about Roman history ;) .

  25. jim says:

    im glad i dont get that channel yuck

  26. Ruben Cantu says:

    Hi,I saw the first episote Too much porno.Other than that very nice.Ruben

  27. Matt says:

    I’m a big fan of the old show if you like to watch a 5′10″ inch woman kicking around 200lb. guys. I watched it mostly because she was hot and sometimes to see Heidi (Hudson) Leick. I don’t know if it’s a good thing that she’s back with her 42 year-old floppies doing explicit sex scenes. I hope it’s a hit for her.

  28. mami says:

    i want see more

  29. MEM says:

    Freak in the name of “art”, Lucy baby. TV’s already a cesspool, so why not? Gimme some hot girl-on-girl, ok?

  30. bonnie riley says:

    Just what we need for our children is another horrible show on tv. Isn’t there enough violence in the world- but people will do anything for money- they think this will bring in viewers. She should be ashamed of herself and the tv show exec who put this garbage on tv. Bad karma comes to people who are all involved

  31. Frank says:

    Blogs are truly the last resort of the forthrighteous, Lucy L is truly babelicious.

  32. KennyJ says:

    First was my last. The nudity was great, and the females well chosen, but the drivel in between wasn’t worth it. As seems to be a long time trend, the dialogue speech patterns are incomprehensible half the time. It’s a retelling of a tired old story with the nudity, sex, and the phony-ass blood in a feeble attempt to punch it up. Two thumbs down.

  33. L. McElvane says:

    Had “Iron Man II ” been made back in the late 90’s, Lucy would have been hands down my choice to play the Black Widow (She
    even looks like Natasha Romanoff!)

  34. MEM says:

    Robert, if you really want to learn about Roman history, try the two seasons of “Rome” on dvd. It was made by BBC, so the lower-class characters like Titus Pullo speak in wierd-ass British colloquialisms, but once you get used to it the show is great, true to history and the beliefs and customs of the time. Plenty of blood, too, but not the comic-book type gushing of Spartacus.

  35. worldrun says:

    Let’s hope it is at 11 so I can enjoy something since Conan is no longer on. Jay Leno will have to compete with Lucy to grab my attention. Lucy’s looks are a lot better than Jay’s chin.

  36. jizz says:

    You all SUCK!

  37. sioux says:

    Yea, just lost all respect for her.

    And all you idiot guys, go get laid by a bum. Get it out of your system already. That’s just pathetic. Wow.

  38. melissa says:

    I LOVE LUCY LAWLESS!!!….I used 2 stay up all night long just 2 c Xena & Hercules!…..i just the other night finished watching episodes of Xena on Netflix!….Im SO happy shes acting again! Shes so beautiful cant wait 2 start watchin the new show!

  39. Jessica says:

    BTW, it was Gabriele, not Ariel like someone said. And Lucy Lawless is amazing. She’s one of those people I’m sure will be goreous at any age, so I’m not sure why people are complaining about anything. Also, people really need to learn some restaint. I don’t care what your opinion of what you’d like to do to her is. I’d really rather you not describe it for the world.

  40. Beau says:

    At first, I was like “Oh, another 500″, but was quickly put in check. This is a great show, and I hope it lasts. Lucy plays a great character. Good luck, and happy watching!!!

  41. James says:

    They should get Renée O’Connor to be in it also.

  42. DumbBrutes says:

    I second that: “You guys are pathetic. Crawl out of your mom’s basement and get a real life.”

  43. JMac says:

    I loved the show ! The stop action bloody battle scenes were well executed. I had no idea Lucy Lesbo-Lawless was even in the show. So her presence was irrelevant. The plot was a total rip-off of Gladiator – not that it matters though…..

    Great first episode !

  44. john says:

    Sounds like more typical hollywood garbage. Will have high ratings due to all the bored fools out here with nothing to do.

  45. Mark says:

    I wouldnt get offended if Lucy was in it, this show is the best!!

  46. Chuckie says:

    BAD BAD If YOU are a MEAN PERSON, a BULLY, a VIOLENT HATEFUL PERSON, a person who belongs in a mental hospital because you get SICK SOMETHING out of WATCHING PEOPLE SUFFER then you are the kind of person this show is for. WHY not get the TEA PARTY to promote STOPPING SHOWS ENCOURAGING AND GLORIFYING SUBHUMAN VALUES of cable shows that are AGAINST AMERICAN VALUES. Send emails to TEA PARTY to take this up. PLEASE (The producers admit much is made up and guessed and is just for the losing cable station to shock. If you want a shock go live in Haiti. Please boycott Starz and call and write your cable provider to CANCEL STARZ….Do not sit there and do nothing ACT Call you cable provider but even more important send emails and letters. You feel so much better that you did!

  47. Mark says:

    I wouldn’t get offended if my favorite star Lucy was in it, this show rocks!!

  48. walter says:

    they are correct sbout cheesey blood and stupid slo-motion. almost cartoonish.if i want slo-motioni will tvo it and slo it myself…this show is actually a cheap rome rip off.xena was actually a better show and lucy is the best thing about this drivel.

  49. Steve says:

    I don’t know much about Lucy Lawless, saw her a little bit in Xena, saw her a lot more in her role on the remake of Battle Star Galactica.

    Those were very different roles, and I am impressed with her versatility. I have read other actors comments similar to hers regarding nudity etc. Assuming it’s sincere statements I think I admire their focus on the art and performance.

  50. bob says:

    If the producers would hire Renee O’connor i would definitely keep watching. Renee is one hot sexy woman i would pay to see nake,,,,,,,,yummy ,yumy what some Renee…..Lucy had a nice boob job no sagging guys.but the wooden acting, and the lousy dialogue-who the hell talks like that.i am gone however if tapert and co. hire Renee I would be back in a heart beat.hhe oh yes Renee …ummmmmmmm

  51. Sandy says:

    I just watched the first episode on-line, I don’t have the Starz channel so couldn’t watch last night. I must say after reading the above comments I was surprised that it was actually worth watching! I’ll follow on-line from here on out. I do agree that the blood was cheesy and poorly done, but I just ignored the slow motion parts. The sex was actually not as bad as people made it sound! Future episodes may change my mind though, since from reading the info on the website it seems everyone is sleeping with everyone, much like a soap opera! So if you liked it, watch it, if you didn’t, don’t watch!

  52. sara says:

    i love snow

  53. PETER says:

    I remeber watching lucy in zena warrior princess,GREAT SHOW !. I also plan on watching this new show, when is it ?.

  54. Sonya says:

    Well, I saw one episode and I don’t think that I will be coming back for more. This stuff is not historically correct, I mean, really, they used the word C*%& and B*&$# back in the Roman era? Please, and yes, eventhough they lived a very open and hedonistic style of life, I think that this was carried out over the top. I think this is a over glammed version of 300 which happens to be one of my fave movies, there was more action, less sex and cursing and it made the movie that much more awesome. So if you are truly looking for a history lesson, go to the History channel or watch 300 even, its better than this stuff.

  55. blkamethyst says:

    @ brian… DOWN BOY! @ MR PLOAR… how u figure she’s a slut? do u know her personally? ur only saying dat cause secretly u want her urself!! and she played Xena very well and accurately! She want 2 make sure her character is historically accurate and dat she is tru 2 da era! nuthin slutty about dat! if u wanna get technical about it, ancient romans were notorious 4 havin orgies and pedophilia!!

  56. Brian says:

    MEM: If you think “Rome” was historically accurate, then you truly are an idiot. Go read a book.

  57. paul says:

    I have watched Zena and Battlestar and really liked both of them, I have not seen this new show(DON’T HAVE STARS) but if the amount of sex is in it that most of these people say, then I’m not interested. I would like to remember lucy as zena or not at all. It’s just not worth it. I guess I’m an old fashioned person and I agree that it should not be allowed for children especially preteens and older teens. Where do you think the kids today learn about sex and violence. It Is Shameful. Anybody who watches this kind of program has to ask themselves, WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? I do think that Lucy Lawless is a great actress, but to put herself in this kind of position, saying that people won’t watch this show is saying that she is not ready for it to be a hit.

  58. JMac says:

    Who dat ? Elmer Fudd ?

    Seriously – the show is well done as it captures way-over-the-top gore similar to a comic book. The exaggeration is purposeful ! The entire intent is NOT to based on maintaining historical accuracy, nor much realism. You fools who want that – go read a book. This was cheesy, comical, and excessive – & that purpose ought to be clearly obvious.

    The medium of television is to entertain.
    This show entertains !!!!!

    Its a shame so many fail to appreciate the art of an entertaining piece, choosing to criticize the show as a lowbrow episode of CSI or Law and Order, (which I assume these people think are so cleverly written). My God, go eat your plain yogurt and celery stalks and leave artistic license to the professionals.

    People in this country are just plain dumb !!

  59. Dee says:

    I just watched the first episode and this is the cheesiest show I’ve ever watched! Looks like a bad porno !

  60. joe phillips says:

    who is lucy lawless

  61. Hetty says:

    I’m tired of filth on tv, great films of the past, such as Gone With the Wind did not have to film Rhett and Scarlet having sex. Good writing and acting let us know what happened and the American people were smart enough to use that barely used tool called imagination and filled in the blanks themselves. Fact is, sex sells, it’s that simple and hollywood caters to people’s lust. However, they try to hide behind the word art, because if something is labled artistic, then anything goes, right?

  62. Frank N Beans says:

    @alankent: you are an idiot. Kevin Smith was the actor who played Ares and Lucy had absolutely nothing to do with his death. He was climbing a tower on the set of a movie in China and fell. Why don’t you get off your mother and go get a job.

  63. John says:

    What a sick world we live in.

  64. Ted says:

    Can’t wait to see Lucy in a toga.

  65. Judy Nicholson says:

    It figures! when Lucy get back on TV I don’t have STRAZ…. I did enjoy wathing her guest apperance on Burn Notice last season. So you go girl Hope to see this show some how.

  66. LMAO says:

    Sean: high-five!

    Kathleen: go crawl back into your room with your dildo, you pathetic little prude! Anybody that watched Xena knows Lucy Lawless is one of the greatest sex symbols of all time! If you don’t like her, don’t watch it! Millions of men around the world would love to have a piece of her, and that won’t change, so get over it!

    Now, what I want to know is, why are they announcing it AFTER the premiere aired? But here’s some good news: If you have Netflix, they are airing the premiere episode on Starz Play right now! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  67. Presly Deen Hollingsworth says:

    If I had time to waste on TV at all, I would watch this show.
    I enjoyed Xena; altho I left the sound off.
    For a while, there was merchandise with “WWXD” on it; “What would Xena do?” I loved it. Have no patience at all for self-righteous xtian fascist hypocrites!
    This show is certainly less obscene than the filth, lies & hatemongering from Limbaugh & Beck.
    If that offends you, you deserve to be offended.

  68. Ryoko says:

    I followed Lucy Lawless in Xena, Hercules, Battlestar, and with her singing career. I also watched her made for tv movies and watched Bedtime Stories and Boogey Man just to see her work. Lucy has always been an acrobatic actress, not meaning her flips in Xena, and has always put a lot of effort in her work. I have yet to see the first episode although I can’t wait to see it. If you are truely against seeing blood, violence and sex, change the channel. It is as simple as that. If you don’t want your kids watching anything like that there is the V-Chip.. it is there for a purpose.. to give you control over what your family watches, or doesn’t. We all miss Kevin Smith and are sorry for him to leave us so soon. If you haven’t seen the show.. you really can’t bash it or Lucy Lawless.

  69. Milly says:

    And she is 41! You go girl! hahahhha

  70. khalan says:

    Would have been nice to actually KNOW the name of the new show, AND when it will air AND what channel. A little help here…

  71. Cdable says:

    Stan,
    Your such a dork. Hell man were all going to hell.I have yet to meet a saint

  72. Baldur says:

    Kathleen, or Kathy or Kathie, or whichever. You need a man, and need one (or two) badly. I am sure your undies get moist just writing to this forum. ..

  73. Mat says:

    i CAN WAIT TO SEE IT. IF IT IS ANYTHING LIKE THE ROME SERIES IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!!!

  74. shanap says:

    Look forward to the best

  75. messiahx4ever says:

    WOW!!!! Looks to me like all these postings of name calling and threats to each other means most of you have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much time on your hands. Smokers beware, the flamers are out in force. Play nice people, its more fun that way, and BTW, Lucy Lawless is a good actress and she works hard on any project she is involved with.

  76. puzleman says:

    Its Great-Im so sick of people crying and complaining about nudity and anti this and anti that..if you dont like it, dont look, it bothers you..move on!!!!!!

  77. Clay says:

    I saw the second episode where the preacher comes in and converts everyone to Christianity,then they take a fourth of the Roman treasury and built the housing for the slaves.I thought thatwas creative and really different.

  78. teresa says:

    hola lucy ya te conosco pero si conoses a dolores o riordan dile que no sea una ladrona porque vendra al peru para robarse todo todito el corazon de todos los peruanos y nos dejara sin corazonnnnnnnnnn bueno chauuuchaito

  79. alith51 says:

    I’d still lick her navel from the inside.

  80. rye says:

    Bring it on Lucy! Terribly miss your face on TV. More power!

  81. charles says:

    I love anything lucy is in. Does anyone know where i can find Xena on dvd? email me and let me know. sedale32@yahoo.com

  82. connie says:

    i have prayed for lucy lawless and her husband and family…that they would come to know JESUS CHRIST as their personal saviour…JESUS can set you free from this bondage of making film that breaks the heart of GOD…i pray…Lucy..that you and your family will come to the cross of JESUS and let him cleanse your heart and fill you with the HOLY SPIRIT..then you can find eternal life thru JESUS…JESUS CHRIST wants to be your best friend…in CHRIST ALONE…connie jo i care for your eternal soul..please i humbly ask you to come to JESUS…life is short…eternity is forever.

  83. Guest says:

    To connie:

    Get your religious BS out of here and take it somewhere else, okay? If you don’t like what’s going on, then don’t say anything. Just mind your own business. You and your kind always want to play the religoius card on EVERYTHING. I bet you even strongly support Pat Robertson on everything he says especially about his comments about the people in Haiti, don’t you? You want about “moral values”, then show that to the Haitians by giving them money and emergency supplies, for starters! At least I’m doing my part on that! Why don’t you and your “kind” do something useful for a change and help those people down there if you want to talk about religion. Otherwise, just disappear!

  84. Robby says:

    Is she going to have sex with Kirk Douglas?

  85. Leisa Helms says:

    If so many of you are upset with this show, then why are you watching it? That’s what V-Chips and the good old Off button is for. Last time I looked, I thought this was a free country. Obviousily, I’ve missed something somewhere.

  86. Stantorini says:

    starz??? too bad not many people will see this show. couldn’t they have picked a more visible network?

  87. angela says:

    bonnie riley
    Not every television show has to be for children, and this is obviously not a show kids should be watching. What is it with parents who want TV to take care of their kids for them?

    Hetty
    Yes, Gone With The Wind was such a great film. I enjoyed seeing a black women playing a mammy and nominated for an Oscar for it.

    Anyway, wow. A lot of ‘interesting’ comments in here. I saw the first episode, apparently the show gets better from there. I prefer to watch Lucy in Xena or Battlestar Galactica. I know its minor, but the red hair is really distracting.

  88. Stephen says:

    I’m SO SO SO sick and tired of what “Our children are watching…” blah, blah, fucking blah! Children are not the only people watching TV and if they are, then these alleged “children” should be supervised. If you don’t want your child watching shows that you don’t approve, then turn off the fuckin’ tv! It’s that simple. But stop throwing that, “what about our children” bullshit up in the air. It’s old and quite frankly, fucking annoying. Grow up. It’s 2010.

  89. Stephen says:

    And please leave religion out of this… Seriously people! What is wrong with you guys?? I honestly can’t comprehend what some of you are thinking! It’s so, so sad. Nothing is breaking ‘gods’ heart or whatever it is you are thinking. And I seriously doubt Lawless’s family needs your prayers. Maybe you should consider a different alternative because obviously ‘praying’ for things like new ideas on movies/tvshows/etc. or praying for his or her family is not working. Give it up.

  90. AJ says:

    lucy is great in this. love her on xena and battlestar galactica

  91. Carle says:

    Some of you folks really do need to chill. For those of you worried about your kids seeing it…it’s on STARZ….not your everyday selection in the cable line-up, and YOU’RE the parent…don’tcha know what your kids are watching? Put down your copy of the greatest work of fiction, incest, misery, pain, anguish, etc. (you know…your BIBLE!) at turn the TV off, or just don’t have STARZ as on option.

    As for you guys who wanna get all freakie w/Xena….I understand that, but blabbin’ all over the NET like some homebound little adolescent really does justify my concerns about the state and course of our humanity.

    There’s always the remote, people. You don’t like it…..just turn it off. Read a book or something. Quit your bitchin’.

  92. peter says:

    HAVE NOT SEEN THE NEW SHOW YET!looking forward to check out this godess of suduction this angel …… Oh my How I love Xena the warrior princess I would love to stick my face between her butt cheecks licking her crack from top to bottom while reaching around and playing with her …..
    Could you imagine the make up sex she could whoop my ars any time!

  93. Mara says:

    I Love Lucy Lawless in Xena: the warrior princess…I watched the show Spartacus last nite and I was intrigue by it. Let it be known-) This show is for “grown-ups”. That’s why there is a rating…If you can’t stand blood and sex, don’t watch it, simple as that, stay with the tv movies and let others watch and enjoy this show. I hope this show its a hit, Lucy deserves it!!
    ****buy the Xena series on amazon or ebay*** support Lucy!!

  94. BigJimmy says:

    Oooh man! Lucy is soo juicy ; ) I would love to stick my face between her warrior~princess butt checks and let her unleash her powerful thunder! Use me like the internet looser I am, I love it!!! Chase me around my computer and whip my geek arse, I deserve it Xena Ive been a naughty lil nerd boy!!!

  95. Hey, lucy I think it is cool that you are using the lucretia. Because four other people have that name and that is my grandma, me, my cousin,& my daughter. I used to watch you when you played xena all the time. I’m 50 yrs. old, so you are never to old watch shows like that, so good luck on your new show I’ll will watch it. thank you again for using my middle name.BLT

  96. daffy_duck_nj says:

    Eh… it was barely okay at best. Just watched it through Fancast. At least I don’t have to pay for it directly. :) I don’t think the actors are having real sex. If they were, it wouldn’t be on Starz. (The men are probably wearing a sock on their precious tools…) It’s pretty good simulated stuff, though. As for the cursing, some of it seems to be there mostly for effect. I’m sure the Romans of the time cursed to high heaven whenever they felt like it, too. Nothing new about that, either.

    Other than that… It’s not engaging enough for me to continue watching it. If I were a fan, then yeah, but somehow the script is too lackluster for me. If I wanted special fx, I’d watch something else…

  97. LadyS says:

    sex is more destructive than violence on tv, because let’s face it…how many teens do we know having sex compared to teens that we know killing people? While the news is always dire, sex is just so much more common and applauded, and STD’s particularly HPV which is said to come into contact with everyone by the time they die, are extremely dangerous. Even if you or you infected partner have no outward signs of it, doesn’t mean you don’t have it until one day, uh oh, I have cancer. And then there’s pregnancy, while single mothers are more accepted today, they have generally shittier lives, especially if impregnated young…and then there’s abortion which includes death and destruction. So no, blood splatters aren’t oging to make our kids murderers, but I wish hollywood would stop using sex as *laugh* “art” and stop pretending that’s what it’s about. It’s about ratings and horny nerds/idiots with beers in their hands, plain and simple. And hey, I’m married, and I want respect in my marriage, I find it weird to be exposed to naked breasts in every movie and show with my husband looking on. Whether he likes it or not, it ruins my enjoyment. How would you men like seeing penis in every film you watched while women stayed buttoned? Actually, I don’t care, because it’s clear neither do you.

    First of all, I thought I read somewhere that her husband Rob Tappert is a executive producer of this show. I guess he wants to exploit his wife in this manner or she doesn’t mind doing this, why should it bother you?

    I loved Lucy as Xena but however I haven’t seen this new show. The Xena; Warrior Princess had plenty of sexual induendo. If explicite behavior is displayed on Spartacus: Blood and Sand, it leaves less to the imagination. I’ll leave that comment for those who want to fanatize.

    Spartacus: Blood and Sand is just a show, a person or a collaborative effort of people want to display as an enterpretation of a historical event and or as a piece of art.

    I admit that Lucy has been a dream and nothing more than a dream to have, if you know what I mean. But damn, dudes get a life…….don’t express those disgusting thoughts here. Are you grown mature men ????????? Or are you looking to get your I.P. adresses investigated for Illicit behavior.

    To those of you that have nothing more to do than to crititize the efforts of this production team……get a life.

    Realize where we live and cherish it. If we allow the extreme right of the conservatives; democratic and republican parties to dictate to us how we should live and what we can say, think, or watch then we are in trouble. That includes those right winged conservative religious communities. I respect all beliefs but leave them in your thoughts before you express yourself.

    God does not live with a sword, and for those who don’t believe…life is not worth condemning. Live with love and compassion in your hearts. Embrace those who you don’t understand before making any comments.

    I’m outta of here and thank you for allowing my thoughts.

  99. Hammerman says:

    you know’ from lucy on down the line, you all truly need god in your lives’ the world is just getting to the point where moral decency no longer exist. we talk about the matter of children watching explicit material. children do what the parents do. so the children feel that what they are doing is ok’ better role modeling is essential here. we all want to follow the crowd, try following god once in awhile. read the word of god. because you all are headed straight to hell. people laugh at this. but hell is real and you will burn in hell for all of this.

  100. Tom says:

    Hammerman………

    Why are you here???????

    You are condemned to HELL because you are the type that the New Testimate warned us about.

    You don’t know shit about shit……get your ass out of here because your words don’t mean nothing to nobody!!!!!

    The New Testimate warns us about false Gods and God fallacies you are consumned by your beliefs……take time to examine, talk and understand others.

  101. Tom says:

    Hey Hammerman…………

    Lost for words……

    I guess, check and mate………

    Got ya.

  102. Tom says:

    LadyS……..

    You have a finger on life but don’t condemn……embrace and try to understand what you don’t comprehend.

    Compassion, and love is necessary in order to understand what we don’t understand beyound comprehendion.

  103. Sassy says:

    GET OFF IT LUCY!!!!! IT’S TIME YOU QUIT GOING AROUND CLAIMING TO BE STEVIE NICKS BECAUSE YOU NOT HER!!!!!! YOU ARE SO SICK AS TO GO AROUND CLAIMING TO BE THE LEAD THE LEAD SINGER OF FLEETWOOD MAC!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT? SOME ONE SHOULD LOCK YOU UP IN A MENTAL INSTUTION AND NEVER LET YOU GET OUT AND BY THE WAY STAY AWAY FROM STEVIE NICKS OR HER BAND OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE AND HAVE THEM TAKE YOU TO THE MENTAL WARD!!!

  104. Tom says:

    Sassy……..

    How many years ago did Lucy do that skit on SNL.????????

    Are we holding on to a grudge upon a skit on SNL???????

    That was not Lucy’s doing that was SNL.

  105. peter says:

    Tom ……………… what are you wearing? bet you smell nice
    bet you smell nice

  106. Big Bob says:

    he does smell nice. Reeeal nice. Tom is a pretty man.

  107. Tom says:

    Are you guys hitting on me??????

    I don’t go that way.

  108. Bob says:

  109. Michelle says:

    I believe that Lucy Lawless is an AWESOME actress! I loved her in Xena, saw some of the Battlestar Galactica episodes and loved her guest appearances in X-Files, Burn Notice and CSI: Miami. And, I totally loved the Tarzan series that she was in, before it was cancelled. She’s a very versatile and incredible actress. She absolutely is my favorite actress. I am a little surprised at this role and what it entails. I understand Lucy is an actress and accepts roles as available. But, personally, I wish she would have chosen a more ‘Moral” character to play and tell off her husband. Her husband is sexually exploiting her. Why she would lower her standards and show her body on TV, I’ll never understand. It’s meant to stay in the bedroom. I just don’t understand why she would allow her husband to put her through this!! She’s an awesome actress and could probably get any role she wants! Rob Tapert can go fly a kite, he needs to let Lucy get her own roles. I know she can do it!! She’s fabulous!!

    And, if Lucy even says that “people won’t watch this show” then I believe that she isn’t ready for this show to be a hit, but quite possibly may (??) believe she shouldn’t be acting in a show like this. I Love Lucy but I disagree with this role.

    Personally, I can’t see myself watching this show, it’s too much against what I believe in. We, as adults should be role models for our children. We want our kids to grow up to be mature, upstanding moral people and personally I want my kids to have a love in God in their heart. Unfortunately, Hollywood doesn’t make it easy for that to happen. I understand sex sells and of course, Hollywood is going to push the limits. It doesn’t make it morally right!! No offense, but I’m glad it’s on STARZ!

    Now, I’m not a religious fanatic but I do believe in Jesus!! And, some of you are probably going to call me a right winged conservative religious nut. You know what, I don’t care, Whatever!!! I don’t claim to be perfect and sin-free, I just believe that Jesus will save and forgive me of my sins if I ask for forgiveness and repent. I don’t condemn people who will watch this show, and I believe we should respect each other’s differences and opinions. This is simply my opinion and that’s that.

  110. Coach says:

    Mrs. Lawless I have admired your acting, loved you as Zena and believe you are a very talented lady that I have longed to see in more roles. However, I won’t comment on the nudity in Spartacus because your decision to do that was personal, and between you and God. Your acting is still commendable but the directing you and the other actors are getting is highly suspect. The show has great potential, the fight/action scenes good except for the superflous flushes of blood, but the gratuitous profanity detracts from the integrity of the show. Some of the curse words were spawned in the 20th and 21st century yet they are used in the era of Spartacus. They are not necessary, all that needed is a good script and good dialogue.

    Yes this is an old story re-worked but the hero fighting against all odds to save his damsel is always a good story.

    Spartacus borrowed from the movie The 300, but doesn’t have the integrity and character of The 300. The potential is there, but it’s not there yet. Unfortunately my wife and I won’t be watching because the filthy language is very offensive, and the dumped in sex scenes have no taste in presentation.

  114. The LORD informed me that demons disguised as the grays inhabit the moon, Mars and its 2 tiny moons, and inside the icy crust of Jupiter’s 4 largest moons including Callisto. They have bases on the dark side of earth’s moon and are under earth’s surface by several miles, and possibly on Venus. Many moons I say! Rob is planning an alien invasion film. The grays will fire beam weapons from their spaceships at buildings on earth, and in 1999 shot down a Russian probe to Mars.

  115. Lucy has beautiful perfect sized breasts, there is no woman with better looking breasts. The nudity is non-gratuitous and artistic, serving the plot. We do not see her perfect Kiwi Kitty I think in season 1. Its not porn.

  116. I echo the fantasies of other drooling fantasizing posters about wanting to perform oral on her and in her perfect sexxxy cute luscious heavenly tushy hole, oh God Lucy!

  117. SUCH Feet, SUCH Soles, SUCH Toes my beloved legendary erotic Lucy Lou girl has! And belly, navel, legs, and Tushy, oh God Lucy! :) Self-promoted tight Tushy on Jett’s show.

    Lucy’s and her role in Spartacus are awesome! It the wonderful, charismatic woman. I wish Lucy more bright roles and, very much I hope that we will see her in the second season of Spartacus: Blood and Sand! Let the Gods be favorable to you, Lucrecia! :)
